Abstract (en)

An endoscope device, comprising: a disposable flexible lens sheath (1), a reusable endoscope body (2), and a disposable sterilization jacket (3). The endoscope body (2) can be received in the flexible lens sheath (1) from an endoscope receiving structure (11) of the flexible lens sheath (1). The sterilization jacket (3) is mounted at an entrance of the endoscope receiving structure (11), so as to isolate the endoscope body (2) from the outside. A light source component (4) is provided near a front end of the flexible lens sheath (1). The endoscope body (2) is provided with a conductive component (5). A rear end of the endoscope body (2) is connected to a power cord (7), and the power cord (7) is connected to the conductive component (5). After the endoscope body (2) is received in the flexible lens sheath (1), the conductive component (5) is in direct or indirect conduction with a light source lead (6) of the light source component (4), so that the light source component (4) is powered. The endoscope device can avoid or reduce problems caused by sterilization and disinfection, and can also avoid astigmatism and reflection problems caused by integration of a light source inside the endoscope body (2).
